On January 17, 2019, Ren Zhengfei was interviewed by domestic media at the Shenzhen headquarters to respond to recent hot events. In the interview, Ren Zhengfei responded to Huawei's current difficulties, independent innovation, intellectual property rights, and 5G issues.

When Ren Zhengfei talked about the significance of independent innovation, he said that he never supported the term "independent innovation." He believes that science and technology are the common wealth of mankind, and must step on the shoulders of predecessors, so as to shorten our lead in the world.

Regarding intellectual property issues, Ren Zhengfei said that of the 87,805 patents of Huawei, 11,152 core patents were authorized in the United States. Huawei's technology patents are valuable to the US information society. Huawei has reached patent cross-licensing with many Western companies. Huawei cannot represent other companies, but absolutely respects the intellectual property rights of others.

For the development of 5G technology, Ren Zhengfei believes that 5G is actually exaggerated, and Huawei's achievements have been exaggerated by more people. In fact, human society has no such urgent need for 5G. People need broadband now, and the main content of 5G is not broadband. 5G has a lot of connotations, and the occurrence of these connotations requires more demand, and it takes a long period of time.

Finally, Ren Zhengfei said that despite the recent problems encountered by Huawei in overseas markets, it is still full of confidence in Huawei's development.
